Reader Reviews
Karch Kiraly, a well known and the most decorated volleyball player, takes his skills and allows his fans to learn the secrets of his game through his book entitled, "Beach Volleyball." This three time Olympic gold medalist in the sport, writes all the skills you need to become as great as a player as he is. Karch goes into details about his training routine, on and off the volleyball court. This book can be broken down into 4 segments: the game, the skills, the training and teh play. It is approximately 167 pages of great reading along with photos of himself and other top players in the game. I would highly recommend this book to anyone that is an aspiring volleyball player. As Karch says, "go for the gold!" Happy reading! I hope this review will help you consider this book to purchase as I have my copy from Amazon.com already! ;O
